The recent 4 game sweep of the heavily favored Chicago Blackhawks by the Nashville Predators in round one of the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs got me to thinking about surprise post-season series sweeps in past sporting history.

Here's a few that come to mind:

1954 Giants World Series sweep of the 111-43 Indians. Dusty Rhodes with his "Chinese" homeruns in the Polo Grounds.

1966 Orioles World Series sweep of the Dodgers. Dodgers scored two runs in the four games.
